A good black and white shot hits it home and this one really sends it out of the park.  Elegant if you want a word from me.

Classy, that is what comes to mind when I see something like this.  Not sure exactly what, but it's the first term that comes to mind.  "Classy".  Does the ground really tremble when elephants walk by you?  Never seen one in person, but always intrigued with them.

Interestingly, as far as my experiences...No. Elephants have huge pads on their feet, They are almost silent when walking. Mostly they are slow walkers, i suppose if they run they would cause more vibrations. They are amazing, Ive had lots of unique moments with them.

:agree:   I couldn't agree more with Mike.  Curious Bryan, what art of yours do you have up in your home?

Ive sold a few of these but honestly apart from two images taken almost 40 years ago when I was studying photography I have none! I shoot often and on each photo safari always come back with at least two dozen or more that are sale/printworthy and Idon't have the wall space to hang them all lol. It would be a never-ending story... select, print, hang, store.

Im going again in 4 weeks then in october
